After the first match of the NCAA semi-finals ended, the major media outlets in the United States also reported on the game.
There was no other reason.
First of all, Allen Iverson, who was the top pick and had the potential to lead Georgetown University to the championship, was blocked out of the top four.
Among the teams that eliminated him were Tim Duncan, who was already scheduled to be the top draft pick in 1997, and Wang Yan, a Chinese player who might be in the same year as Iverson!
At the same time, in the second half of the game, Wang Yan single-handedly broke through Georgetown University's defense with Tim Duncan sitting on the bench.
His ability was witnessed by everyone.
In addition, Wake Forest University had broken into the finals of the NCAA Tournament with a team record.
Even the " North California State News ", which had always regarded the University of North California as its own son, finally did not mention anything about the University of North California on its cover.
On the cover of the new issue of the North California State News was Wang Yan and Duncan!
Wake Forest's inner and outer line duo, one standing in front of Iverson, one standing behind Wang Yan.
The slogan given to the cover by the North California State Press was also very simple and crude:
"These three are the future of the NBA!”
Inside Wake Forest University.
After returning to Windsor from Washington, the entire Wake Forest team did not idle.
Although the team's coach, Dave Odom, did not ask the entire team to train, he still gathered all of them to watch another NCAA semi-final game.
Antoine Walker and his Kentuckian VS Marcus Canby and his UMass!
"King, who do you think will win?"
Tim Duncan was not interested in the game itself.""Or rather, who do you want to advance to?”
"It doesn't matter who advances.”
Wang Yan was also not interested in the competition itself."To be honest, it doesn't matter who comes."
There were only a few players who surpassed the NCAA level.
Marbury and Iverson had been sent away by him.
The remaining Walker and Canbi also didn't match up with him.
To Wang Yan, it really didn't matter who advanced to the finals.
"I think so too."
Duncan also had this point of view: "Those who can reach the finals are not weak teams, so there's no difference.”
Indeed.
A team that could make it all the way to the finals in knockout mode must have some skill.
They were all strong teams, so it would purely depend on their performance in the competition.
In the end, Marcus Canby led UMass to hold a five-point advantage at the last minute and held on until the end of the game.
The highly anticipated Kentuckian team had no choice but to be eliminated!
At this point, UMass had also made history and entered the finals of the NCAA Tournament!
A new championship team was destined to emerge in the 1996 NCAA Tournament finals!
"Finally, I don't have to arrange the core players of the opponent.”
Seeing the end of the match, Wang Yan slowly got up, stretched, and looked at Duncan.""Brother, I'll leave Marcus Canbi to you.”
"Where is Marcus from?"
Duncan looked up at Wang Yan and suddenly asked an inexplicable question.
"I think it's from Connecticuti."
Dave Odom reminded him,""I think so. He's from Hartford, Connecticuti.”
After Canby graduated from high school, Dave Odom had thought of recruiting the young player to join Wake Forest.
Even though the other party didn't think much of him, at the very least, he still understood Canbi's background.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Marcus Canby is from your hometown?" Wang Yan asked curiously.”
"Of course not. My hometown is an island.”
Duncan also stood up.
"Leave that guy from Hartford to me!”
．．．．．．
As soon as Tim Duncan finished speaking, the entire Wake Forest University locker room fell silent.
Even Wang Yan, who was never at a loss for words, was instantly rendered speechless.
The rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
"It's a little cold. I'll go see who turned on the air conditioner…"
The team's point guard, Ruhr, stood up first and walked out of the locker room.
"I'll go and take a look too. Ruhr might not know where the air-conditioning switch is.”
"The two of them might not know. I'll go help…"
As Ruhr stood up, the other Wake Forest players also stood up and began to walk out of the locker room.
Duncan was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this a daily joke used by Coach Dave Odom and Wang Yan?
Why didn't anyone react when he said it today?
Could it be that someone had secretly turned on the air conditioner?
"Cough cough!"
Wang Yan, who was still in the locker room, patted the bewildered Duncan.""Tim, your ability to make cold jokes is indeed very strong.”
"Cold joke?"
Duncan was puzzled." What's a cold joke?"”
"That's... Let me give you an example."
Wang Yan did not know how to explain it, so he simply gave an example to prove it."Why don't you greet a medium-well steak with a medium-well steak?”
"Why?"
"Because they don't know each other!"
